Trendwatch: Bang! Bangs!



The Perps: Vanessa Hudgens and Miley Cyrus
The Look: Brow-concealing bangs

Known for their enviable long locks, teen queens Hudgens and Cyrus have shortened up ... in front. While there's no denying that bangs are (and have been) a formidable trend in entertainment, they're often a go-to for a more youthful look. Be that as it may, it's a curious course of action for these two, who clock in at 19 and 15-years-old, respectively.

But age ain't nothing but a number, as these bangs -- Vanessa's blunt row and Miley's wispy edges -- are face-framing and adorable. Unlike the mullet, we're pretty sure there's nothing "business" about these flirty, carefully sculpted sets of strands.

The Perp: Amy Winehouse
The Look: Prints, bustiers and belts, oh my!

In the past few weeks, the soul singer has been seen rocking more plaid than a bagpiper meetup, more leopard print than a hair-band groupie, more checks and gingham than a J. Crew model, more ... you get the idea. In addition to her newfound adoration for all things busy prints, she's also been, well, exhibiting her assets in a whole new, totally '50s way, thanks to a little something women fondly refer to as the wonder/miracle/life-altering bra. Also rocking our fashion universe are the belt-and-suspenders combos. We dig the gear.

The Perps: Avril Lavigne, Paris Hilton
The Look: Pink Highlights

Rosey hues are nothing new for Avril Lavigne. However, those of today are more vibrant than her paler pinks of the past. And while the singer has recently been spotted hitting Hollywood's hot spots with everyone's favorite celebutante, Ms. Hilton, we're not sure she commissioned Paris biting her steez.

The club queen was seen rocking electric pink streaks recently at her birthday party. Granted, it was an '80s theme. Nevertheless, we'll be on the lookout for more followers.
